If you can't respond with logic, this is the best approach. You are also over-looking the fact I support Oats, and any positive comments I make about him because you are too busy emotionally trying to make someone a troll because they don't align with your perspective.

It amazes me the amount of people on here who will call you a troll for thinking 28-7 and 38-3 blowouts are unacceptable.

I guess if all you do is focus on the losses/negatives and ignore DeBoer getting to the playoffs and the SEC championship (including a 7-1 regular season record and a road win over UGA,) in his second season, and doing it with one of the worst OLines/run games we've seen in 20 years at Bama. Oh, and also with a starting QB that was apparently held together with duct tape for half the season.

But you and your pal have fun commiserating with one another.

Whether losing big games badly is "acceptable" or "unacceptable" is not even a real argument. It is a non sequitur. No fan wants a bad loss but they're going to happen and a bit more often than they did in the days where we could squat on our geographical talent advantage with limited transferring and no pay for play.

People only start talking that bull because their own argument has more holes in it than swiss cheese.

DeBoer hasn't had a great season yet but they did win a playoff game this past season, he's 7-2 against the four most "rivalry" type series we've got right now (Tennessee, Auburn, LSU, and Georgia), we've signed two great freshmen classes with him, and lost very few players from classes he's signed. Also, each off-season he's been willing to cut loose dead weight coaches. He's not been pleased with the offenses performance and made changes there each off-season. We've got two coaches with OL coaching background on the staff right now. They spent most of the transfer portal trying to find right now and long term fixes on the OL. I think we're better overall in terms of OL that fit this scheme than the prior two seasons. It is just a matter of getting young guys ready to play and veterans integrated into the system.

I'm not sold on DeBoer. He's not worthy of unquestioned trust like our prior coach. However, focusing on some bad losses when we were limping into the SECCG and played half a Rose Bowl without our starting QB is clown shite. He's done some good things, done some bad things, but almost everyone other than maybe half dozen teams in the nation would have taken our last two seasons over what they've had.

And all of this is kind of a moot point because fact is, UA can’t afford to fire him for the next two years. Unless he does something crazy off the field (e.g. robs a bank), he’ll be here for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

Having said that, if Bama loses 4 games next season, his coaching seat is going to be molten magma hot for 2027. IMO, more than two losses in 2027 and I think he will be fired.

Some of you clamoring for him to be fired now should be careful what you wish for because fact is pretty much all the good HCs out there either aren’t coming or have signed massive extensions. If we’re looking for a HC after 2026 or 2027, we’re most likely stuck with crumbs. I’m sorry but it’s true.

So, be careful of what you wish for.
